Putting this here looking for suggestions from you or one of your many page watchers. I already posted this on AN and it didn't seem to get any traction. It doesn't necessarily need an admin, just someone skilled in assessing and justifying consensus, with enough clout to have it stick.
This discussion on Wikipedia talk:Teahouse has been going on for a few weeks, and I would very much like to see it come to some productive conclusion. I tried to steer it there, but with limited success. And it's probably inappropriate for me to steer too much, since I formally opened the proposal anyway. Thanks in advance.

Please take care with this sort of thing. Thank you. Ubcule ( talk) 13:24, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Do not remove {{ COI}} tags when it is clear that a conflict exists. It may upset the subject, but the subject -- or, actually, his wife -- should not have so blatantly broken WP rules.
I note also that the subject has requested deletion of the article. Assuming the subject is notable, which I think he is, that should not happen -- individuals are not allowed to control the content or presence of their articles. . .

12:29, 20 December 2016 (UTC)"Fuck off" is not a personal attack, it is an uncivil way to say "go away and leave me alone". (Oh, and I mean to use undo, but misclicked on revert: I didn't mean to label your edit as vandalism, I just wanted to undo it). Fram ( talk) 10:11, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
I have never seen a situation where an admin (emphasis mine) directly telling an editor to fuck off ends well (see User:Beeblebrox/fuck off and paging Beeblebrox for comment). All it takes is one diff to be extracted onto ANI, and we'd be having this conversation over there rather than here, with far more drama and silliness. That is the reason I reverted, not because I found Fram's comment offensive (annoyed - maybe, offended - no; this comment from Mr Farage is far more offensive without going anywhere near any of the usual "bad words"). I said up-front I wasn't going to complain about being reverted; rather I felt it would help keep the peace at WT:DYK a bit. TRM is right that there is a problem with Cwmhiraeth indiscriminately putting hooks into prep without understanding the subject matter, which is the more substantial issue that needs to be addressed; however, comments like this are not going to help resolve that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:41, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
You're all good people. Please will you all accept a metaphorical hug from me and this ASCII asterisk as a token of my affection: * -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 11:49, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
I notice Cwmhiraeth again reopened the closed section at WT:DYK, to gratuitously drop a personal attack against me, and at the same time to post an incomprehensible defense of their own actions: "I did reopen the thread, but Fram reverted my action. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:49, 21 December 2016 (UTC)" (in response to TRM complaining about Cwmhiraeth hiding part of the discussion including the very post they wanted so desperately to have my answer on!). Perhaps someone else can go to Cwmhiraeth and explain a few things to them about discussions, logic, personal attacks, and dead horses? Fram ( talk) 14:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
But Fram is out to get me, come what may, and TRM tags along behind like a shadow, or even goes ahead as shadows can, and there we are! No, Fram is out to make sure you stop promoting errors to the main page, as am I. I don't "tag" behind anyone, in fact if you read the posts we make more thoroughly, you'll see we most often make different points, many times I let you know about your mistakes in preps on your talk page and Fram doesn't comment there, many times Fram posts issues about your failures to pick up mistakes that are heading to the main page at the DYK talk page, sometimes we both comment, for instance in this case where you somehow refused to accept that a native German speaker could speak German better than Google Translate. I think it's time you stopped digging. The Rambling Man ( talk) 14:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

(Probably there should be an essay by that name -- I just don't know what it would be about...) I have to disagree with your assertion that Moors Murders is u.p.d.-able -- see the thread I opened on its talk page. (I've got a talk to give on Monday, so I'll have to get back to it then, maybe.)

12:29, 20 December 2016 (UTC)"Fuck off" is not a personal attack, it is an uncivil way to say "go away and leave me alone". (Oh, and I mean to use undo, but misclicked on revert: I didn't mean to label your edit as vandalism, I just wanted to undo it). Fram ( talk) 10:11, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
I have never seen a situation where an admin (emphasis mine) directly telling an editor to fuck off ends well (see User:Beeblebrox/fuck off and paging Beeblebrox for comment). All it takes is one diff to be extracted onto ANI, and we'd be having this conversation over there rather than here, with far more drama and silliness. That is the reason I reverted, not because I found Fram's comment offensive (annoyed - maybe, offended - no; this comment from Mr Farage is far more offensive without going anywhere near any of the usual "bad words"). I said up-front I wasn't going to complain about being reverted; rather I felt it would help keep the peace at WT:DYK a bit. TRM is right that there is a problem with Cwmhiraeth indiscriminately putting hooks into prep without understanding the subject matter, which is the more substantial issue that needs to be addressed; however, comments like this are not going to help resolve that.

You're all good people. Please will you all accept a metaphorical hug from me and this ASCII asterisk as a token of my affection: * -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 11:49, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
I notice Cwmhiraeth again reopened the closed section at WT:DYK, to gratuitously drop a personal attack against me, and at the same time to post an incomprehensible defense of their own actions: "I did reopen the thread, but Fram reverted my action. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:49, 21 December 2016 (UTC)" (in response to TRM complaining about Cwmhiraeth hiding part of the discussion including the very post they wanted so desperately to have my answer on!). Perhaps someone else can go to Cwmhiraeth and explain a few things to them about discussions, logic, personal attacks, and dead horses? Fram ( talk) 14:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
But Fram is out to get me, come what may, and TRM tags along behind like a shadow, or even goes ahead as shadows can, and there we are! No, Fram is out to make sure you stop promoting errors to the main page, as am I. I don't "tag" behind anyone, in fact if you read the posts we make more thoroughly, you'll see we most often make different points, many times I let you know about your mistakes in preps on your talk page and Fram doesn't comment there, many times Fram posts issues about your failures to pick up mistakes that are heading to the main page at the DYK talk page, sometimes we both comment, for instance in this case where you somehow refused to accept that a native German speaker could speak German better than Google Translate. I think it's time you stopped digging. The Rambling Man ( talk) 14:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

(Probably there should be an essay by that name -- I just don't know what it would be about...) I have to disagree with your assertion that Moors Murders is u.p.d.-able -- see the thread I opened on its talk page. (I've got a talk to give on Monday, so I'll have to get back to it then, maybe.) I think it's a prime example of an overwrought article needing a severe copyedit. E Eng 23:55, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help on the 'pedia!

What do you think could be done about this article? I feel like it's too far gone and if we pared it down, it would be as small as as stub: Hare Kkaanch Ki Choodiyaan. It has a section showcasing dialogue between characters. it's awful -- Jennica✿ / talk 22:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
